Mira went on alert. Stretching out with her senses, she felt it. Whatever it was, its attention was primarily focused on the two of them. She felt it pounce. Mira reached for her lightsaber, and activated it as soon as it was clear of her body. The attacker--a white, Bull Kath Hound--immeadiatly changed tactics and fell to the ground, growling. Spit dripped from its' fangs, and the only warmth she found in its eyes was the animal-need to kill.
It pounced again, quicker than before. Mira's legs gave way, and she fell, rolling under the jumping Hound. "Help me out, here," Mira called over to Mical. The Kath Hound raised its head and howled. "Oh, sithpiss," Mira muttered.

Mical
As soon as Mira called out for assistence, Mical leapt into action, his thumb activating his lightsaber. He practically jumped onto the beast's back, but it lurched like a bucking bantha, throwing him off to the side. Then it swung its head around, searing his shoulder with one of its horns. He yelped in pain and surprise.
Then, gritting his teeth, he swung his lightsaber, severing one of the beast's front legs. It yowled in agony, momentarily distracted, giving Mira a clear opportunity to strike.

Mira bent her knees and sprang foreword, landing on the Kath Hound's fleshy back. Her face, lit by the orange glow of her lightsaber blade, was bleedly from a small scrape on her cheek. She brought her lightsaber up, and down, driving it right through the thing's spine, emerging out of the center of the Hound's chest. Letting out a painful whine, it collapsed, letting out a dreadful death rattle.
Mira ran over to Mical and helped him up. "We took a wrong turn somewhere," Mira said. "We shouldn't've come down here. Hurry up!"
Amid the frightening cries of the Kath Hounds looking upon their dead comrade, Mira and Mical ran for their lives.

Mical
He and Mira ran as quickly as they could, using the Force to give them the speed they needed. It was obviously that they had gone to the wrong place at the wrong time--and there were definitely more kath hounds nearby.
They ran in the direction of the enclave, where they knew it would be safe, not even daring to look back to see if any kath hounds were following them.
Dane Kurress
Please, stop. Let me go.
No matter how long or how hard she pleaded for release, or at least for a break, Eviwy wouldn't listen. The spirit of the beast seemed intent on forcing Dane to work hard for her cause. Eviwy wouldn't even acknowledge any of Dane's pleas with any sort of reply. Her nemesis merely kept forcing her to press on, finding ways to disable traps, and look for that special crystal.
And Dane knew that she still had a long way to go, but every hour she passed, she was getting closer to finding it, and to getting to it...

Mira was great at using the Force to enhance her strengths, like her speed and flexibility, but she wasn't so good at stopping. She sighted Revan and Dev playing in the one-inch pile of snow outside the door, and Mira struggled to stop. Stang! "Revan, move!" she yelled.
Revan grabbed Den and jumped to the side just and Mira tripped herself. Falling on the pile of snow, Mira threw back her head and laughed. "Oh... Oh that was crazy..." she said.
Revan watched her with an eyebrow raised. Finally, she shook her head and offered a hand to Mira. "Maybe we could work on stopping next time," she said. She glanced at Mical. "You tell her?"

I walked outside of the enclave doors, watching the three of them play in the snow. I almost let myself laugh as Mira fell in the snow, I shook it off, staring right through Revan.
"Revan..."I stopped, shuddering, almost ready to cry like a little child "...could...I... I please speak to you in private?"
OOC: Sorry I didn't make a post earlier, I was kinda busy today.

OOC: Won’t be on much today
Revan looked up, startled. Time seemed to linger for just a few seconds as their ees met. “Sure. Mira, can you watch Dev until—“
“Yeah, sure.” Mira got up and dusted herself off. She picked up Dev. “I don’t know about you, little man, but I’m freezing. Brrr….” She pretended to shake, and Revan had to admit she looked kind of funny with snow caking her hair.
“Brrr,” Dev agreed, smiling as he tried to shake just like Mira, but only succeeded in moving his shoulders and arms.
“How about… we go inside and get some cookies while those two talk?” Mira asked. “You want Mical to come?”
“Yah!” Dev answered enthusiastically. “Please, Mikki? With a cherry?”
Revan chuckled. As the three of them went back inside, she could hear Mira giving the droid a less-than-acceptable answer as to why they were all out past curfew. ”Yeah, I know how dangerous the plains are at night… Yeah, whatever…” At the sound of their retreating footsteps, Revan knew they were gone.
She turned around to face Carth. “I’m leaving dawn tomorrow,” she said. “Just like the note said, I’ll be in and out of contact. I’ve already got Mical watching Dev if you were called back for some dreadful, only-Carth-can-do-this emergency.”

Mical
I found myself chuckling in spite of myself as Mira dealt with the protocal droid. It was only following its programming, I knew, and it was supposed to keep an eye on everyone, guard the door, and ask questions when someone was out late. However, even it knew better than to argue with Mira, or to keep her for too long.
Finally the three of us made our way toward Mira's quarters. Honestly I was grateful for this opportunity to talk with Mira alone--well, "alone" with Dev present, but I was very fond of the kid, so I figured it should be no problem.
I just hoped that Revan and Carth would be able to sort out their differences. I knew that things weren't exactly... going smoothly in their relationship.
I hope that never happens to me, I thought, my brow creasing with concern, as I looked over at Mira.

Mira's quarters were small and modest, with just one bed, a large backpack which stored her cloths, and a medium-sized workbench where she could upgrade whatever she needed. A 'fresher was to the far left, and a cabnit a sweets were stored right above the workbench. There were various hidden holes among her floor, where all she'd need to do was remove the durasteel. She knew that her often questionable bounty hunting equipment lay under there.
Standing up on her tip-toes, and reached up and undid the child lock she had on it (she often challenged the kids to steal a box of cookies from her). Taking out the cookies, they all sat on her one-person bed and Dev ripped open the box.
"Chocolate chip!" he said in delight. "Mmm... my favorite."
Mira chuckled. "Yeah, my favorite, too."

I looked into Revan's eyes, holding her hands as I thought carefully.
"I want to go with you." I said, looking down now. "I'm not letting you go without me."
The note hadn't mentioned anything that passed off as dangerous to me. It simply said she was making her way to Coruscant, but there was just something about it...
"Truth is, Rev, I dunno if I want you out there alone."
